About

What is Bootlegs Manager?
Bootlegs Manager is an application for Windows that can help Iron Maiden bootleg traders manage their bootleg collections easily and efficiently. It was written by BoBo during June 2003, and went on general release in August 2003. The program is licenced as bootware, meaning that if you like and use the software you should send the author (BoBo) a bootleg of his choice every two years to support continued releases and improvements. If you're a trader from the DC Hub though, registration is free.

You can contact BoBo using the methods available on his Maiden World Forum profile or e-mail him directly using the address edwardthehead1776 AT yahoo.com

Help & Questions

A quick guide to performing common tasks, and helpful hints for using the software

Creating A New Bootleg Catalogue

  • Open Bootlegs Manager and go to File -> New (Once you have clicked on new the bootleg list should be totally grey)
  • Right click the area and click Add. This adds a space for a bootleg to your list, which has 10 fields to complete to get the entire information about your bootleg.
  • Click on the yellow eddies head to get a complete listing of Iron Maiden bootlegs. Once this has appeared, use the drop down menu to select the tour your bootleg is from. Once the tour list has appeared select the Concert you have and click the plus button to add it to your bootleg list.
  • Close the Tour List and go back to your bootleg list. Select the source box and choose from the menu where your bootleg came from, repeat this for File Type and then fill in the quality and Info boxes.
  • Once the above steps are done, repeat until your catalogue of bootlegs is complete.

Opening other catalogues

  • Download their catalogue and then go to File --> Open and find the .bmu file of their catalogue
  • Once you have found it, select it and click open and their Bootlegs list will appear in the catalogue area

  • If you would like to save the file to a different filename use the icon of a disk with AS in between, this will automatically open the "Save As" dialog box and you can rename your file list there.

Copy and Pasting From The Clipboard

  • If you have text on the clipboard you want to put into your bootleg list, simply select the field you want it to go in and use the Clipboard Icon at the top of the application.
  • To put something into the clipboard from the Bootlegs Manager application , again select the field you want the information to be copied out of and use the Paste icon at the top bar of the application.
